About Recognising common defects: from steering to tyre: which statements are correct? (multiple answers possible)
- A green valve cap on the tyres is a legal requirement.
- If a lighting or indicator bulb is broken, a warning automatically appears on the dashboard.
- ✓ Worn brake pads give a grinding sound while braking; a thumping sound while steering sharply points to a defective CV joint of the drive shaft.
- ✓ A loose exhaust is heard as a scraping sound while driving; thumping from the front wheel precisely when steering sharply points to the CV joint.
Correct answer: Worn brake pads give a grinding sound while braking; a thumping sound while steering sharply points to a defective CV joint of the drive shaft.; A loose exhaust is heard as a scraping sound while driving; thumping from the front wheel precisely when steering sharply points to the CV joint.
Explanation
'You cannot rely on a defective bulb being indicated by a dashboard warning.' Daily checking before departure remains necessary.
Why learners get this wrong
- The green valve cap is simply how you recognise nitrogen filling; nitrogen is a choice with benefits (holds pressure longer, lower consumption, shorter braking distance), not a legal requirement.
- 'You cannot rely on a defective bulb being indicated by a dashboard warning.' Daily checking before departure remains necessary.
